With so much publicity surrounding the The National Gallery's new entrance and rehang, it's perhaps no surprise that other new acquisitions seem to have been overlooked. A reader has kindly been in touch to point out that the gallery have also acquired (as part of their recent buying spree) this rather monumental Still Life by Floris van Dijck. According to their website it was 'Bought thanks to a generous legacy from Mrs Martha Doris Bailey and Mr Richard Hillman Bailey, with the support of the National Gallery Trust, 2025'.

The gallery have also acquired this rather wistful A View of the Sky from a Prison Window by Carl Gustav Carus.
